Three plays will torment Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema for another year.

Kurt Coleman and Jermale Hines returned interceptions for touchdowns and Ray Small brought a kickoff back 96 yards on Saturday to lead the ninth-ranked Buckeyes to a 31-13 win, despite getting badly outgained by the self-destructive Badgers.

"I hate losing to these guys," Bielema said. "Absolutely, it's something I can't stand for whatever reason. The bottom line is I have to do it again. It's something we'll continue to look at until we have another opportunity next year."

Wisconsin outgained Ohio State by nearly 200 yards, and had 22 first downs to the Buckeyes' eight. None of it mattered in the end.
